Primo Prime

The food was amazing! My wife had some awesome pasta, I had the Oxtail Gnocchi. Our server was great, the atmosphere was very low-key. I plan on going back

A nice quiet and classy restaurant. The menu selection were perfect because they provided a variety of options but it wasn’t overwhelming. Everything my friends and I ordered was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service here was great as well. Our server consistently helped us before we even asked. The prices are also very reasonable when comparing to other steakhouses/Italian restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend choosing Primo Prime for your next date night, birthday, or other special occasion.

Went for Queens Feast. Our server, Bret, was spot on with his service. Impeccable timing and never felt rushed to finish. Great job by management to maintain the ambience. Overall, the food was excellent and very well prepared. We ordered the crab cake, fritto misto, penne seafood and tagliata steak. The crab cake was crispy but not greasy. The fritto misto, also fried, was tasty and loved the fried zucchini mixed it as well. The penne seafood was flavorful, the penne was al dente. Would definitely order any of these again. The steak was prepared properly but the entire plate was probably the less flavorful of all the items we ordered. I would not order the steak again. I'm lactose intolerant, so for my dessert, I received the fresh fruit dish which is usually my only dessert choice. Really?! I have gotten to the point I usually turn down fresh fruit. But I was served the fruit anyway and these were the best strawberries I've had in years! Not sure where these were purchased, but they were picked ripe! These were not picked green then left to ripen during transit like so much of our fruits and vegetables today. The bread and white beans served as we waited for our meal was good, however, I have a pet peeve about burned bread. And ours was on one edge. The bread was good, crusty outside, soft inside but I never understand why restaurants serve burnt bread! We ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. The wine prices are on average $40/bottle. If you bring your own bottle, corkage is $20.
They were very helpful with my lactose intolerance and even made recommendations on what I could order (almost everything). NOTE: The tables on the porch were extremely close, you had to turn sideways to get to your table. No elevator so if you can't climb stairs, you can't eat here. I like the quiet background music, we were able to have a conversation but were so close to the other diners that we never had much of one. Maybe one row of tables rather than cramming two on the porch?

We went here on a date night. The service and food is amazing. The staff were very friendly. The black eyed peas they give as complimentary was just too good (I prefer soft bread though). The waiter was very accommodating and helped with customizing to our tastes. Roasted chicken was juicy and tender.
We will visit again....

Food and service were fantastic! The atmosphere is close quarters and we were seated at a double table stuck onto the side of a booth so it felt like we were in the way a little bit, but we still enjoyed!

I went for restaurant week and got the potato leek soup, the lamb shank and the cheesecake. The leek soup had plenty of delicious crab meat in it. Otherwise I think I would've been happier w the beef carpaccio the server recommendation. The lamb shank took forever but was well worth the wait. It was bigger than a turkey leg and came on a bed of cheesy parmesan risotto. The lamb was delicious the red wine reduction was so delicious I couldn't get enough of it. The risotto was amazing! Totally hit the spot and paired perfectly w the lamb and the juices. The cheesecake wasn't over the top but definitely didn't disappoint. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was very cozy.

My boyfriend and I had such a great experience. Food and service was exceptional. We went on a Sunday evening and surprisingly it wasn't busy. We had the perfect intimate dinner.

Went here for my birthday and the service was amazing and friendly from the moment we stepped in the building.
My family bought a birthday cake that our waiter held in the back and brought in out with a candle they provided! It was so special! Can’t wait to return!

It's a very beautiful restaurant. The attention was amazing and the food was delicious. I would absolutely go back.

Excellent date night dinner spot before a show at Ovens Auditorium! Worked with us to provide an excellent dining experience while ensuring we had plenty of time to make the show after traffic made us late to our reservation! Will be returning for another fantastic dinner!

We dined at Primo Prime for a birthday celebration and it was Fantastic! Ambiance is perfect and cozy, and the service was outstanding! Dean was on point with every detail and went out of his way to assure our experience was top notch.
And Joe, oh my goodness Joe....the man can do no wrong in the kitchen!!! Hands down the best Fine Italian dining in Charlotte. We can’t wait to return!

Previously known as Primo Tuscan Grill, Primo Prime has been renovated aesthetically but the food remains just as AMAZING as before!! Love the staff and the "new look". Joe & staff continue to welcome old and new guests with timeless authentic Italian cuisine. Love the atmosphere and location! It's like being in NYC!! Hidden gem for sure!

Went for restaurant week last night and it was amazing. The staff was really friendly and fun and the food was all delicious. It tended to be very loud but that just might have been because it was crowded with restaurant week.
I had tuna tartare salad and the raviolis, couldnt be beat.

Primo Tuscan Grille

My husband and I recently discovered the most delightful restaurant!! The Primo Tuscan Grille has the most wonderful selection of entrees, appetizers, sides and desserts! The meals are all carefully and exquisitely prepared by Yosief Derar.
My husband and I have travelled the world; and I can say without a doubt that we have never experienced such wonderful cuisine and service. I had veal specially prepared to my liking! We have been raving to our friends and I wanted to let you know as well. I could go on and on. If anyone is looking for a great spot with terrific ambiance, unbeatable service and a meal you will not soon forget; you must try the Primo Tuscan Grille. It is at 116 Middleton Drive upstairs!!
You must check it out!!!

This place is awesome. They do not care about masks and support our freedom. Everyone who believes in the USA needs to support this awesome establishment. Cheers to whoever owns Primo I will be supporting you forever

Ate at PP last night. Restaurant Week and it was really busy. Food was great (Burrata, lamb shank, chocolate mousse), service was perfect....great night! One of the best restaurants in Charlotte without a doubt.

Went for restaurant week. Great food and service. Tommie (girl waiter) was great! Ambience was great for our girls night but also great spot for a date. Will totally be back 😊

Had a great experience, Kacy (?) was great and the food was delish. Would highly recommend!
